Pinetta's European - Baron Rouge

Cons: too dark, too loud, but bear in mind that I am a 62-year-old fogey! Our entrees took a long time to arrive. Pros: attentive wait staff, absolutely delicious food. The kind that makes your eyes roll back in your head. There are very few German restaurants in Louisiana. While this restaurant blends Italian, Turkish, and German, we come here for the German food which is consistently delicious and always features sauerkraut that I believe is homemade and riced potatoes that are light and fluff … – show

Somehow I've lived down here for over eight years and just now managed to try Pinetta's. I hate to think about all those lost years without knowing about this delicious food! Love the atmosphere/vibes of the place too! It was easy to give this 5 stars. That being said, I do have some minor things to mention… more of an fyi than a complaint. When they say “European” style restaurant, I think they mean more than just the food. Lol! Slow paced service and no split checks (noted on the men … – show

Not a big fan, staff not friendly Stuck in the 19th century Once everyone was sitting it was over almost hour before our order was taken. A couple that was seated before us got up and left because no one took their order. They did get water. Won't split bills or take separate CC I didn't care for my dish, others seemed to like theirs though.

This small, dimly lit restaurant is one of Baton Rouge’s best kept secrets. It’s the perfect romantic spot for date night and a bottle of Chianti. All the food I’ve tried has been so flavorful and delicious. The red sauce is amazing. I normally get the tuna or filet. Both wonderful choices.

I’m trying them for the first time tonight. To Go orders are up charged 20%. Needless to say, I was shocked. When I ask why, I was told they just started doing this because people were ordering takeout more and not tipping. I would understand 10%, as I have always tipped to help, even when the order was wrong, but 20%? To Go orders do not require the same amount of work that dining in requires. Sorry Pinetta’s, but this will be a one and done for me, no matter how good the food may be.
